Meet the staff

We make every effort to give personal attention to each prospective student and their family. Below you’ll find a list of our admission team members. Please feel free to contact the staff member for your region with any questions, or just to let them know you’re interested in Saint Joseph’s.

Many of our admission staff travel to high schools in the spring and fall, so it may take a few days to hear back while they are on the road. If you have immediate questions, please contact the Office of Admission at 1-800-338-7057 or admissions@sjcme.edu.

My advice to students applying to college:

Be sure to attend a campus event or schedule a visit. Going to a school is the best way to learn about it. It affords you and your family the chance to get to know the admissions team, faculty, coaches and current students. You never fully know what a school is all about until you have had the opportunity to experience it.

My advice to students applying to college:

Always keep an open mind about the schools you are considering and the major you’re considering.

Also stay in touch with the schools you are considering so that they can help you through the process as much as possible.
